Can old laptop hard drive appear as 2nd drive on new lapop?

My old WinXP (Toshiba) laptop, which I really like better than the new Win7 Dell, has a few poblems. It's 9 years old, and I think the screen has gone out. The computer works on an extenal vga monitor...

It is also possible to install Virtual Box on your new laptop and run the XP install on the old drive in a virtual machine- there are ways to convert a physical machine to a virtual one. A bit of a pain to convert in the first place, but once converted, it should run with zero problems.
